SMALLVILLE’s Erica Durance on Knowing Clark’s Secret
August 13, 2010 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Smallville
For SMALLVILLE’s Erica Durance (Lois), season 10 is going to be big.
In the ninth season finale, Lois pieced together that the Blur is actually Clark. So, given that this is the final year of the show, where will the duo go from there?
“I’m a huge fan of the Lois-Clark relationship and how they’ve done it the years I’ve been there,” Durance says. “This year, the flip is that she knows his secret. She’s able to support him in that and understand that he doesn’t want to tell her yet, so she’s trying to be as patient as possible. So you see a little bit of fun there in how she tries and hides that she knows [the truth].”
But just how well is Lois going to succeed at keeping his secret? After all, she didn’t grow up in that secretive environment that he did.
“I think in true Lois fashion, she’ll probably end up blurting it out to him in some terrible aggressive way,” Durance says.
And what does she think of the end of the series and what else can we expect for Lois?
Take a look…

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Man Nigel Lythgoe Talks Lauren, Ellen and If The All-Stars Will Be Back Next Season
August 13, 2010 by Korbi Ghosh
Filed under So You Think You Can Dance, SYTYCD
Surprised?! Why are so many people surprised that Lauren Froderman won SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE season 7? Sure, Kent is cute. And a fabulous dancer. And the little ladies love him. But the little ladies have been known to pick up the telephone for a kick ass girl contestant too.
Hello, Sabra? Jeanine?
In the video interview below, with SYTYCD judge and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, the reporter next to me begins by asking how surprised Lythgoe was that Lauren came out on top.
But, like me, Lythgoe says, he really wasn’t. In fact, he spills that Lauren got the most number of votes last week as well!
GO LO-FRO!
Still, it did take him some time to notice what a strong contender she was.
Watch below to find out exactly when Nigel feels Lauren’s turning point came, what he thinks about this season’s new all-star format and whether the show will be keeping said format in tact next summer.
Oh, and there might be some mention of superstar Ellen Degeneres and Lythgoe’s next gig. You know, he’s rejoining some show called AMERICAN IDOL or something…

Watch Ellen DeGeneres Dance with tWitch on the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Finale
August 13, 2010 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Ellen DeGeneres, So You Think You Can Dance, SYTYCD, TV News, Twitch
Ellen DeGeneres’ “surprise” appearance on the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finale might have been the worst kept secret of the night — heck, even Ellen tweeted that she was going to do something special for injured dancer Alex Wong — but it was so worth it.
As fans of her syndicated series THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW know, the girl can dance. She dances daily for her studio audience and even performed a routine with the season 5 SYTYCD contestants for her last season premiere.
But the routine she tackled last night? Insane. This hip-hop number with tWitch was what cemented Alex’s status as being one of the best dancers SYTYCD had ever seen. So for Ellen to take it on with her own little spin? Insanely brave.
Did you miss it? Take a look…

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 7 Winner Lauren Froderman Celebrates Backstage with Give Me My Remote
August 13, 2010 by Korbi Ghosh
Filed under #1 featured, So You Think You Can Dance, SYTYCD
What happens backstage after a SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finale?
And why is season 7 winner Lauren Froderman the cutest girl ever?
Watch the video below and you’ll see.
She’s just won $250,000 and the coveted title of America’s favorite dancer, but she’s still the same sweet down-to-earth doll who — by the way — has been my pick since DAY. ONE.
Not to brag, but I recognized Lauren’s bright shine way back in May when her first audition aired. She just blew me away doing her wholesome stripper thing — strong, yet still sexy with full control of her body. Lo Fro is SICK, yo.
But yeah, take a look-see at what went on after the finale, as the judges and contestants talked to the press and to each other.
I was lucky enough to capture some special moments between executive producer Nigel Lythgoe as he congratulated Lauren, she thanked him and then came over to tell us what she’s going to do with her prize money, who she thought was going to win and what’s next…
Love her.
You cool with Lauren winning season 7?
Or were you pulling for someone else?

No Situation For BONES
August 12, 2010 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under Bones, TV News
Less than a week after The Situation told GIVE ME MY REMOTE that he would appear on the upcoming JERSEY SHORE-themed episode of BONES “if the right offer comes around,” FOX confirmed that he won’t be in the hour after all.
Speaking to EW.com — who first reported that negotiations had broken down between the two parties — BONES executive producer Stephen Nathan explained that contracts got in the way of The Situation’s possible guest role. “There were so many contractual difficulties with MTV that it just became an impossibility,” Nathan said.
BONES has already recast the role The Situation was set to play with an up-and-coming actor.
Are you relieved BONES fans? Or were you secretly hoping The Situation would guest on your show?

CASTLE’s Molly Quinn on Getting a TV Boyfriend and Gaining Some Independence
August 12, 2010 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Castle, TV News
CASTLE’s Alexis is growing up.
In addition to spending her summer away from home, Alexis will soon be getting an older boyfriend — TV Guide Magazine is reporting that THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER’s Ken Baumann (Ben) has been cast in the role — and you can just imagine how well her father will take this news.
But seeing as she really is the most grown-up person in the Castle household, her pops should know that she’ll probably handle the relationship better than most adults would. And even if not, shouldn’t she be allowed to act like a child for once?
“I wouldn’t think that she would be acting like a child — even though it is a good point,” Molly Quinn (Alexis) says. “I could see it more as she’s dating someone older and she knows that her father won’t be able to handle that and he won’t act rationally. So I think she’s learning how to communicate with her dad more. She can’t just throw something at [him].”
And what about that serious father-daughter chat that executive producer Laurie Zaks said would occur in the season premiere?
Take a look for Quinn’s take on that…

P.S. How adorable is it that Quinn actually dressed up in a STAR TREK costume for her CASTLE panel?

Lauren, Kent or Robert: Who Will Win SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 7?

Who will win SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE season 7?
We at GIVE ME MY REMOTE have absolutely no idea.
Like judge and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, we’d be cool with any one of the three finalists — Lauren, Kent or Robert — taking it.
In fact, yours truly highlighted all three of these dancers during the audition phase of the competition. There’s something very special about their talents.
Still, I was a little disappointed by yesterday’s finale.
There were a few standout performances, but nothing that really made me SCREAM, Mary Murphy-style.
Take a look-see…
Fact.
What did you think of the finale performances?
And which kid would you like to see win tonight?

FRINGE Producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman Talk Balance in Season 3
August 11, 2010 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Fringe
FRINGE ended their second season with a heartbreaking separation — but a whole lot of possibilities.
With our Olivia trapped in the alternate universe, season 3 will start off with screen time split between the two worlds.
And while some writers would be focusing their attention on exploring the second universe and the characters over there — it is new and exciting, after all — executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman say that what excites them the most is a chance to explore that arena thoroughly through the eyes of a character we already know and love.
“I think that for us, our hero characters are the first three we met — Peter, Olivia, Walter,” Pinkner shares in the video interview below. “And at the end of last season, we left Olivia in the other side. So we have a point of view character to explore the other side…Going over there is really telling the story that we’re compelled to tell. And Alt-Olivia, Alt-Broyles, Alt-Astrid, they’re really in relation to the characters that we love. So, we’re telling their story — and we intend to and we know their story and its a question of how fast we tell it — but for us, it’s only season 3. So to us, the mothership is still the shiny new toy.”
Awesome.
Still, had to ask, is there really only one alternate universe for their “shiny new toy” to compete with?
Pinkner and Wyman have an interesting take on that question. See for yourself…

WAREHOUSE 13: Around The Bend
August 11, 2010 by Sarah Curtis
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by Sarah (Seels), Warehouse 13
I don’t know about all of you, but after last week’s preview, I was really looking forward to this episode. Warehouse 13 is best when it aligns the artifacts and casework with good character development. As much as these Season Two episodes have made me laugh, there is still that underlying thread that some of us here on GIVE ME MY REMOTE talked about last season where the writers need to make sure that the characters don’t look too much like goofballs dropped in the middle of nowhere on accident. Pete and Myka ARE (were) top agents after all, and being assigned to the warehouse was a promotion. Not that it’s been a cake walk, as Pete tells his old flame, Kate Logan, played by the gorgeous Tia Carrere.
In this episode, Pete and Myka are visiting a British museum that includes some cool treasures and a walking stick known to cause earthquakes. Later on in the episode, the walking stick comes into play several times, but in a way we’ve never seen before on this show. But first, when Pete and Myka see it about to be swiped from the museum, they take action. Pete is surprised outside of the building when Mrs. Frederic approaches him and insists that he let the perpetrator escape and lie about it.
We can see that lying doesn’t sit well with Pete, and that’s a good thing.
He and Myka are called back to the warehouse immediately, where they (along with Claudia and Artie) are surprised by a visit from Valda, a Regent. What I loved about this part was that I really had no idea if Valda was there because he really was concerned about their work as agents, or if it was just a ploy to get them riled up. And I was constantly trying to read Pete’s body language and Artie’s reactions to see if they were in on it or more or less shocked than anyone else. And what about Mrs. F? Was she working on behalf of the Regents? Perhaps sacrificing Pete for the sake of the cause? Yes, yes, Warehouse 13 fans, this episode certainly brought the intrigue!
It didn’t slow down at all when Pete had a secret mission from Mrs. Frederic. I liked that she reinforced what he said about not keeping secrets from his team. And even though he’d been a prime player so far in the episode, I was surprised to see Valda as Pete’s first mark.
One thing I loved was that when Myka was suspicious of Pete, her mind automatically went to alcohol. Not that I want her to think Pete is drinking or anything; I was just glad in that moment that she didn’t intrinsically think that he was lying to her about the case. And holla, Eddie McClintock’s acting during the ‘intervention’; He was great this entire episode, but that particular scene was awesome. Heck to the yes!
Intrigue doesn’t even begin to describe the intensity of the middle minutes of this episode. I just didn’t have a good feeling about Kate Logan, especially when she had that suspicious ‘decaf’ with Pete, and he followed her back to her bed. But I never could have imagined Myka interrupting them, followed by a foot chase, a sniper-hit and then Myka walking into Kate’s office. Please tell me I am not the only one who was blown away by all of that! And that was just the beginning of the plot twist.
Even 45 minutes into this thing, I wasn’t 100% convinced that Pete was really affected by the artifact (the telegraph machine from the British museum) and was going insane with linear mirage visions. So please forgive my slight dissatisfaction with the ending of the episode. I really don’t want to take anything from it, because I think it was one of the best of the series, but didn’t it feel a little like it was too tightly wrapped up at the end? It was too much of a jolt to just be back at the warehouse, making jokes, right?
Not that I didn’t laugh, several times during this episode, in fact. Pete and Myka still share that brother/sister vibe, and it was very touching to see how she was affected by his affliction. His interactions with Mrs. F were hilarious. And I liked the writer’s move to have Pete not only be affected by an artifact (the telegraph) but to also be the one inflicting an artifact (the earthquake inducing walking stick). But what I loved most was that throughout it all, Pete’s motivation, despite his altered reality, was centered on keeping his team safe. Likewise, they worked very hard to help him get back to the Pete we all know and love.
What did you think of this episode? It’s hard to believe, but we are just about halfway done with this season of Warehouse 13. Say it ain’t so, right? I’m hoping we hear about a season three pick up very soon. Till then, make some noise and be heard in the comments below!
